Southern California Strings Seminar

Friday 6th May 2011

Doheny Memorial Library, Intellectual Commons (DML 233)

Join us as we (members of several of the local groups with interest in string theory and related topics) sit together to discuss new ideas and developments (both general and technical) in the field. The presentations will be accompanied by plenty of discussion and in the first part of each talk the speaker will take special care to set the scene and context of the work in a pedagogical manner so as to encourage participation by younger members of the field.

Maps of the University Park Campus are here: http://web-app.usc.edu/maps/#upc/ DML is just East of the intersection of Trousdale Pkwy and Childs Way. Or use “3600 Trousdale parkway Los Angeles, California 90089-0014” in e.g., Google Maps. See below. The 110 Fwy is just East, and the 10 Fwy is just North, slightly off the map. We recommend Parking Structure A, or use unmetered street parking just North or West of the campus.

The 754 rapid metro bus runs down Vermont, connecting at Wilshire to the Red Line subway, the 720 rapid metro bus from the West, etc.. There are several other buses such as the 200, 206, 38, and F Dash. See e.g. http://metro.net.

There are several places for coffee, lunch, etc., near Doheny. LiteraTea cafe is at the back of the building, with a lovely courtyard. They have sandwiches and other items. The Ronald Tutor Campus Center is just South and West. Trojan Grounds is across the green park to the North, East of Leavey Library at the base of Birnkrant. Further East from there, across Figueroa Street, there is the laboratory-themed brew pub The Lab, etc.
